If you didn’t get enough bleak, dystopian scenarios out of this season, here are some similar science fiction novels to tide you over until the next season. // A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick: Speaking of Dick, no list of mind-bending science fiction books would be complete without him. Inspired partly by Dick’s own experiences with drug subcultures, A Scanner Darkly follows an undercover police officer, Bob Arctor, who has infiltrated a group of druggies who use a dangerous new drug called “Substance D.” The novel includes thought-provoking sci-fi concepts, like the “scramble suits” that project dozens of different photographs of people to preserve the wearer’s anonymity, as well as a conspiratorial twist at the end.
